[MinerBoy]

I just watched it again, and I still get a tingle when I watched that goal from Sewell..What a game it was..
Every one of them contributed..= The last 3mins when a swan player Laid flat out on poppy's back, no frees for us, but then Buddy a sec later,took a swan player down,around the waist on his side.Buddy was penalised..So many frees ignored, terrible umpiring.That goal (should have been) by Whitecross,the umpire said it was touched, sure, AFTER it crossed the line..Dudded again..I replayed it several times on my recorder, it was over THE LINE when I re-watched it..Maybe my eye sight is gone..

BTW I read it in the paper that they watered the ground 3 hours before they played..Must have been a drought there!!

The commentating was $hithouse... Roos was absolutely loving the 1st qtr, Dwayne Russell was no different and then there is Mr. Impartial Dunstall who tries so hard to be impartial that he criticizes everything..

Absolutely loved it when we kicked those last couple of goals Did Roos even speak after that?

But yes, I definetely expect Roos to highlight the free kicks tonight...I guarantee that he will

I actually thought the commentating was good. Dunstall is realistic with his commentating, he also gives a good insight into what our club thinks when he criticizes certain things our players do. As for Roos, i have never had a real problem with his comments about us or his commentating, especially in the last quarter when he said it was the right decision to not pay 50m against Burgoyne.

Dwayne Russel is terrible though and every time he says Brust makes me want to punch him in the face

Interesting observation. There was obvious water coming off the ground too.

It may have been all the p!ss!ng and moaning about Sydney not getting enough respect.

The first game this year I have missed due to stupid damn previously arranged commitments. All I saw was the last five minutes which I must say was AWESOME! Tense, but awesome. It made for a great weekend! Now, to try and track down a replay somewhere online.

*** Thanks to my dad for updating me score by score in the final quarter because I have an ancient phone that won't let me access anything like that. It is the first time I have considered updating my phone solely for this reason.

WOO-HOO.

haha i was at work (in a pub) and i was getting one of the customers to keep updating the scores and yell them out to me. Top bloke he is, even if he is a pies supporter

Lucky you, i'm in Auckland atm and the coverage is zero, liveafl online is the only access method... so much for expansion into NZ!

I've watched the last 2 minutes about 5 times today.

If someone is able to upload the Hawk segment from On The Couch tonight it would be much appreciated.

Maybe I can beam it across to you..LOL

Seems like it will be very wet and cold under foot on Friday night! Maybe the players can sharpen their stops like Baker did!!And stomp on their feet.(eagles) At least the stops might grip the grass better..hehehe

 

[Hawthorn United]

Was keeping an eye on the scores through my phone on the night. Worried about the start.

Should it be a concern we've started so poorly lately? Geelong down by 51 points, Sydney 38. Port led at Quarter time. Hopefully it's a training load thing.

(may have been mentioned earlier in thread)

I noticed a few of the boys (Smith? Puopolo?) seemed to be wearing guernseys that were really creased, like they'd been left in the gym bag all week and hadn't been ironed.

No criticism, just weird. Why would this be?

You don't expect boys to do their own ironing, do you??

 

[The BIG X]

You don't expect boys to do their own ironing, do you??

I don't even expect them to wash their gear either

 

[LuvMyHawks]

They wouldn't know how to!!

Wash? Every week, poppy goes hunting and makes his jumper out of Jaguar and tiger fur.

You don't want to know what he makes the sponsor logos out of

I'd been in Sydney all week and the weather had been beautiful.... mmm food for thought there.

I went on the ground and it was very slippery, but it absolutely bucketed here on thursday night - although you'd expect it to be dryer than it was

Also it was Guerra on Jetta fair bit of the time, but i noticed at the first bounce Lewis went and stood next to him and gave him a gentle nudge or two, and it appeared we were putting bodywork on him around the ball. A very astute swans supporter and regular attendee at the SCG who I was at the footy with said that he has faded of late, but that also teams have figured out he can't win a contested ball and doesn't like the heat on. He commented early on that we were playing him very well.

I feel for Guerra, some b.....d broke into his house and stole his 2008 medal..Rotten sod!!

Very dry in the week leading up though. Was a bit odd.

I was on the field after the game and felt the grass. It didn't feel that wet to be honest.

I didn't go on the ground but you could see it early in the game.

 

[Hawk Dork]

are you suggesting the Morrabin mystery sprinkler has gone north?

Simply said 'he is soft'

I was on the ground after the game as well, spilled one beer, took four hangers and layed six tackles. Easily my best after the game game this season, though the spilled beer wasnt my best moment. Ground didnt feel wet to me at all.

My second trip to the SCG, great stadium, atmosphere was brilliant.
